This intimate networking and knowledge-sharing opportunity is a must-attend event for information security and cybersecurity leaders. With attendance by invitation only, and under strict Chatham House Rule, the event will connect 60+ very senior information security decision-makers with select service providers for a day of networking, problem-solving, and benchmarking.
ABOUT THE EVENT
Transformative, thought-provoking presentations, face-to-face meetings, and senior level attendees only, the CISO Executive Network series is the high quality, senior leadership infosec meeting that will support your journey in business growth. From high level discussions on shaping business and industry to strategically designed networking, the CISO Executive Network promises to deliver innovative and pioneering ideas and conversation.
This intimate, peer-to-peer networking opportunity is a must-attend event for infosec leaders. The future will be irrefutably challenged by new and unnerving cybersecurity threats, and information security leaders must ask themselves:
• Have we maximised our defensive capabilities in-line with the times?
• Can we consider ourselves secure enough or do we need to do more?
• Are we prepared for a technologically savvy opponent?
